crime pays but botany doesnt is probably the best channel on youtube for it, but really you need to go to your local conservation society and go to local universities and take a couple of local conservation classes. i totally recommend it, really opens your eyes to how much bullshit we've done to the environment and makes you think about how to live in harmony with the local stuff

also opens your eyes to fun foods youve never heard of before which is a personal favorite of mine, eating plants no one has heard of but are local and great and grow like weeds. also another thing is ive drastically reduced mosquito populations in my area because native plants are sucking up all that water and not letting it sit and fester. its my opinion that mosquitoes are a symptom of a human infested environment, where we have destroyed the fuck out of everything that maintains balance.
